Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for heating glass panels in a tempering furnace equipped with rollers. Glass panels (7) are carried on a conveyor established by rollers (6) into a tempering furnace (1) for the duration of a heating cycle, followed by carrying the glass panels (7) into a tempering station (21), and the glass panels (7) are heated in the tempering furnace (1) by means of bottom- and top-heating radiation elements (2, 3), as well as by bottom- and top-heating convection elements (4, 4a, 4b, 4c, 4', 4a', 4b', 4c', 5) whereby convection air is supplied into the tempering furnace (1). The glass panels' (7) bottom side is heated by means of the bottom-heating convection elements (4, 4a, 4b, 4c, 4', 4a', 4b', 4c'), which are lengthwise of the furnace (1) and define convection heating zones (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I and J) side by side in a lateral direction of the tempering furnace (1). Thus, the convection heating effects of the convection heating zones (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I and J) can be altered relative to each other for profiling the heat transfer coefficient in a lateral direction of the furnace. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a layer jump, a control signal based on a focus error signal is masked in a period based on a moving speed of an objective lens so as not to be influenced by an unnecessary light component. Thereafter, an observation of the control signal based on the focus error signal is restarted, and a brake signal is sent to the objective lens, and a focus servo is switched to the ON status. Thus, accuracy of the layer jump is improved when the unnecessary light component exists in an interlayer portion of the focus error signal. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for removing upper stem segments (3), from Phyllocacti (1) in order to produce flowering butts. Thereto the segments (3) have to be torn off from the stem segment (3) below. The level above which the segments are to be removed is established in accordance with the development stage of the Phyllocacti (1), the desired stability of the Phyllocacti for transport reasons etc. Mechanical impact is applied to the segments (3) above the determined level, by means such as brushes (30) or fluid jets (50). The Phyllocacti (1) may be subjected to mechanical impact several times by resubmitting them to the impact means (30,50) or by placing several impact means (30,50) in series. Transport means (22) for creating a relative movement between the impact means (30,50) and the Phyllocacti (1) are provided. According to one embodiment of the invention Phyllocacti (1) are furthermore exposed to ethylene or an ethylene releasing compound which will facilitate removal of upper stem segments from Phyllocacti (1).

Abstract: A method and arrangement are disclosed for processing a compressed media signal, for example, embedding a watermark in an MPEG2 video signal. The watermark, a spatial noise pattern (140), is embedded (123) by selectively discarding the smallest quantized DCT coefficients. The discarded coefficients are subsequently merged in the runs of other run/level pairs. To compensate for a too large reduction of the bit rate, some of the new run/level pairs are not variable-length encoded (124) but represented by longer code words according to further coding rule (125) providing such longer code words, for example, MPEG's "Escape coding".
